what happened was clinton put out the call in early 1996 for a hike in the minimum wage. republicans said, no, it was going to kill business and jobs. then what happened is the year progressed and they realized they were on the brink of losing the election, and bob dole was going to be at the top of the ticket, and they were worried about the senate. they came around. they did increase the minimum wage. the gingrich congress increased the minimum wage in 1996. i think there's an opportunity here where this could play out over months where if republicans -- democrats are already starting to frame this in terms of 2014. if republicans can get put in a similar position, you might have enough joxzs from republicans and potentially vulnerable house districts that say, hey, put this on the floor. we want to vote. that might be the end game. six months from now or something. >> the minimum wage question is -- it's something that everybody understands, right? i mean, most people at one point had a job where they got paid the minimum wage. they remember what that was like. in that
